“…The variety Tiger (23.15%) recorded the lowest grade. These results are similar to those of Nwanna et al (2019) which obtained high fiber value. The high value of fiber reported for eggplant fruit can improve its digestibility and absorption processes in large intestine, helping to stimulate peristalsis, thereby preventing constipation (Alaofe et al 2008).…”

Eggplant is one of the most commonly consumed vegetables in Côte d'Ivoire. For this purpose, the nutrient constituents of eggplant varieties (Niguema, N'drowa, Aliona, Bello, Kotobi, Italy, Tiger, Kalenda and Gnangnan) were evaluated by standard procedures. The proximate composition in dry weight basis was significantly (P < 0.05) varied and ranged: dry matter 86.72-93.29%, crude protein 9.94-22.11%, crude fat 5.07-20.43%, crude fiber 23.15-50.53%, crude ash 5.14-10.09%, carbohydrate 12.41-39.22%, and energy value 211.53-320.94 kcal/100g. Gnangnan had the highest content in fat. Kalenda had the highest protein content, N'drowa had the highest fiber content, Bello had the highest content in carbohydrate, while Tiger presented the highest content in both ash and energy values. The phenolic content ranges from 618.28 to 977.35 mg/100g while the vitamin C ranges from 92.88 to 150.59 mg/100g in dry weight basis. Italy had the highest content in phenolic while Kalenda had the highest content in vitamin C. Interrelationships between the parameters analysed and the different eggplant varieties were investigated by principal component analysis (PCA). PCA revealed differences between the eggplant varieties and classified them into three clusters on the basis of the measured parameters: Cluster 1 (Gnangnan), Cluster 2 (Niguema, N'drowa, Italy and Aliona) and Cluster 3 (Bello, Kalenda, Kotobi and Tiger) This study is a contribution to the knowledge of the nutritional composition of eggplant cultivated in Côte d'Ivoire. In view of these results, eggplant can help to reduce the nutrition-related disorders in Africa.

“…According to literature sources, the total antioxidant capacity of different species can vary over a large range, in particular, methanolic extracts of various Indian spices can vary from 0.57 to 6.0 mg UAE / g DW (Deepa et al, 2013). A detailed study of the fruits of some members of the Solanaceae family showed that the antioxidant capacity was 48.8 ± 0.6 and 56.7 ± 1.4 mg AE / g of dry extract (Nwanna et al, 2013;Nwanna et al, 2019). Therefore, the antioxidant capacity of Chaenomeles fruits, determined in the range from 565.8 ± 15.7 (C. speciosa) to 1121.7 ± 27.5 (C. cathayensis) mg UAE / 100 g DW, can be considered quite high.…”

The comparative analysis of the fruit and seed capacity of Chaenomeles Lindl., grew in the botanical garden of the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, was carried out. It is shown that all studied taxa undergo a complete vegetation cycle. According to our observations, the duration of the growing season is as follows: the smallest in Chaenomeles japonica, the longest in C. × superba and C. maulei, the longest in C. speciosa, C. cathayensis and C. californica. Seed length in Chaenomeles plants ranged from 4.2 ± 0.10 mm (C. japonica var. maulei) to 8.5 ± 0.25 mm (C. сathayensis). Seed widths varied from 4.1 ± 0.32 mm (C. cathayensis) to 11.1 ± 0.10 mm (C. japonica var. maulei). According to the results obtained, the average number of seeds in one fruit of different Chaenomeles species differed, decreasing in the following order: C. cathayensis, C. speciosa > C. × californica > C. × superba > C. japonica > C. japonica var. maulei. Most of the Chaenomeles genus representatives were found to be in a good condition: C. japonica var. maulei vitality was estimated at 7 balls, C. japonica and C. × superba – 6 balls. This index is slightly lower for C. speciosa, C. × californica and C. cathayensis as 5 and 4 balls, respectively. It should be noted that the highest vitality was shown by C. japonica var. maulei, which was introduced in the Botanical Garden of DNU in 1955. In research, considerable attention has been paid to the antioxidant system, which is a powerful mechanism preventing the development of avalanche-free and radical peroxide reactions in living organisms. The antioxidant capacity of Chaenomeles fruits, determined in the range from 565.8 ± 15.7 (C. speciosa) to 1121.7 ± 27.5 (C. cathayensis) mg UAE / 100 g DW, can be considered quite high. The overall antioxidant capacity was highest for C. cathayensis fruits (1121.7 ± 27.5 mg AE / 100 g DW), which exceeded the indexes of other species by 1.2–2.0 times. The presence of antioxidants in raw materials and finished products provides for the prevention of their deterioration, reduction of losses, increase the shelf life and release of high quality products, retaining for a long time the characteristic features inherent in fresh, complete products. High taste qualities are characteristic of C. speciosa and C. × californica. Considering the large assortment of Chaenomeles, representatives differing in their biological, physiological and nutritional properties, we consider it promising to introduce their use in the food industry to obtain functional products with high consumer properties, namely, high content of antioxidants, catering for a variety of dishes or for exotic flavors, as well for direct consumption by the population of useful fruits with different flavors.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with complications such as Alzheimer disease (AD). Tropical eggplant (Solanum gilo, Solanum kumba, and Solanum aethiopicum) fruits have been extensively used for the treatment of different ailments. This study assesses the effect of an eggplant supplemented‐diet on purinergic, monoaminergic, and cholinergic enzyme systems in diabetic male rats, besides determining the presence of alkaloids using GC‐MS chromatography. Results from this study show that eggplant fruit diet modulates the activities of the enzymes in purinergic, monoaminergic, and cholinergic enzyme systems associated with AD‐like symptoms. Solanum kumba–supplemented diet significantly (p < 0.05) reduced enzyme activities better than S. gilo and S. aethiopicum, which could be due to its rich phytochemical constituents. In conclusion, eggplant fruits could serve as a holistic measure in the prevention of diabetes‐related complications such as neurodegenerative disease. Practical applications The therapeutic management of diabetes fails to holistically address inflammatory response which likely contributes to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) occurrence by causing insulin resistance; this, in turn, is intensified in the presence of hyperglycemia to promote long‐term complications such as neurodegenerative disorders. The health benefit of a tropical eggplant fruit diet inform a nutritional and therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of T2DM and its associated complications such as neurodegenerative disorders has been proved. The eggplant fruit–supplemented diet, which is cost‐effective with little or no side effect, could substantially increase the antioxidant status and also modulate the activities of neuronal enzymes in a diabetic model with dementia, as well as Alzheimer's‐like symptoms. This study, therefore, revealed more of the benefits of tropical eggplant fruits vis‐à‐vis their management in hyperglycemia‐mediated neurodegeneration.
